c. People’s lives are sometimes affected by random events.

The punishment for a crime is to choose a door. Behind one is a lady that that person then has to immediately marry, behind the other is a tiger that will immediately eat them. The king says that this proves guilt or innocence, but in reality it's just a game of chance.
